“artificial attempt at garnering interest"

Came to the comments to say this, probably better to clean after it drops to get the new gunsmith XP over the fairly worthless gunsmith materials. 

That’s just simply not true. I’ve seen plenty of cases of people who left side panels off and had cases filled with dust, hair, crumbs, and other crap that settled in there. It’s *impossible* to actually have controlled air flow when you just have no control at all, not to mention that it becomes impossible to have…
